Sustainable character

The ongoing trend towards low maintenance, great looking, highly durable decking has led the One Stop Deck Shop team to tick all the boxes.

“For the last ten years, WPC (or wood plastic composite) has been a growing trend in North America and Europe, and we knew that New Zealand would follow suit,” says Rod McVicar from One Stop Deck Shop.

Finding a WPC that would survive New Zealand’s extreme UV conditions and fit with New Zealand’s building standards was at the top of the priorities list.

Many products look similar when new, but what would they look like after three, five, ten and even 15 years? “After much research and discussion, we opted for ModWood because it was the only WPC manufactured in the southern hemisphere, and it was proven in the harsh Aussie climate.

"After gaining Codemark Certification, ModWood is the only WPC that fully complies with the New Zealand building code,” says Rod.

“ModWood looks great and is made from recycled materials, making it easier on the planet. It comes in a long length (5.4 metres), meaning few, if any joins. The KlevaKlip hidden fastening system gives the deck the real wow factor. But best of all, ModWood is low maintenance. No oiling, no splinters or splitting, no twisting or warping; just clean it a couple of times a year and get back to having fun or relaxing on it.”

There are two finishes and five colours with ModWood, the Natural Grain Collection (NGC) and the newer generation Xtreme Guard (XTG). If you’re looking for a product that won’t age with time, then XTG is the solution. Many customers love the way the NGC product ages over time. There is also a fencing and screening product and a marina board for commercial applications. “It is truly a great decking product,” says Rod.
